    Jack Ryan’s House from “Clear and Present Danger”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper was anxiously awaiting last Friday’s premiere of the new Amazon series Jack Ryan.  There was practically a countdown going on in our house.  When we finally viewed the first episode, though, my only thought was ‘I want that hour and four minutes of my life back.’  Needless to say, we were…

    The Georgian Hotel from “BH90210”

    ‘ While I was initially on the fence as to my feelings regarding BH90210, I have to say the meta-revival has really grown on me.  Though I did not particularly love the pilot, by episode 4, I was absolutely enthralled and am so saddened that Season 1 will be coming to a close this week. …

    The “Sex and the City” McDonalds

    ‘ Today’s location is a bit of a fail and a lucky twist all in one.  My mom always says to trust in the universe – and she’s right.  Things happen for a reason.  This locale – easily one of my most-wanted ever – is proof of that.  I am a pretty simple girl when…
